"Nope," Beverley shook her head, swirling her tea in the glass, "I haven't seen her with a boyfriend. She's pretty picky about guys."
Aurelia stirred her fruit tea and pondered.
Could she actually be falling for Avery?
In her mind, the perfect match for Avery was Leah, smart, adorable, and practically family. If Avery married her, it would be a match made in heaven.
She had to make sure Avery didn't miss out on the chance with Leah. She'd be the perfect wife for him.
Thursday rolled around, and with it came Children's Day.
Aurelia had thrown a bash in the backyard of her villa for the kids.
In attendance were Kane, William, and Skyler, along with Nina, Mira, Emma's daughter Margot, and Bella.
William had even brought along his best buddy Nellie.
Skyler was over the moon; it. It had been years since he'd celebrated Children's Day. His parents had decided he'd outgrown it once he hit nine.
Yet, he still felt like a kid at heart.
William walked over, holding Nellie's hand, and introduced her to Skyler and Kane.
Skyler grinned wide, "I've seen you on that TV show with Avery. You were awesome."
"Thanks," Nellie grinned back, her dimples deepening adorably.
The adults had donned mascot costumes for the occasion. Avery was dressed as a frog prince, Aurelia as Superman, Leah as LinaBell, and Emma as Stellalou...
They led the younger ones into the wonderland of the party.
"Wow, Superman!" Skyler clapped excitedly.
"Frog Prince!" Mira hopped toward Avery.
Avery handed her a tiny stuffed frog, "Take good care of my little Froggie, okay?"
